its got a troubleshooting guide,fault codes and how to use the controller to turn the heater and frost stat on and off etc

Thanks. They probably did give me one buy can't remember and may have left it there after being busy learning the system.

50-60c in the spring/summer and 20-30c on a very cold day in winter(depending on how much hose you have out off your reel)

no i just use the standard gardiners yellow microbore brian(its rated up to 60c).i used to have the 8mm red thermobore bought from gardiners and it was an absolute nightmare.far too heavy to use every day.they didnt do a microbore version back then.

If you have it as little as 45degrees on days like this week it will literally smoke off the glass like it’s on fire,mine was at that today and climbing and it was melting ice off frames and sills in seconds. Without hot water this week I wouldn’t have even been able to leave the house,I had more trouble getting my side load door open this morning I had to use the hot water and pole to defrost the door 😂

[Frankybadboy]

yours dont work probably

works fine as long as the engines running!

i had it running for 4 and a half hours today frankie!

go and have a word with your mechanic and tell him that you leave the engine running a long time without moving and see what he says mate

im quite sure idling my van engine for 4 or 5 hours for 3 days is not going to knacker a new engine franky!

Fire engines , Ambulances , Yodel , TNT ,Tesco , ASDA, Waitrose , DHL , COOP , .....I could go on but i got a TAXI waiting

DPF? Carbon build? That coupled with the limited milage Daz reckons he does might not be doing any favours.

Anyway, I could be wrong but aren’t icecream vans etc... designed to run under a slight load rather than straight idle to run the fridges etc...? (I understand delivery wagons aren’t but they’ll be driven all day and revved to buggery all day)

I’m no mechanic though so do what you want...

i drove 350 miles last week (to cambridgeshire and back!)and grippa have drove my van back down there today so itll have done 700 miles in the last 2 weeks by friday so thatll sort the DPF out if theres any soot in it.

i think webasto have sent a part that needs fitting to these vehicles to allow the fuel to be taken while the engine is off.

I’m around the corner from you Daz, I’ve done a full week so far this week with cold water, no problems. Was out at 8am on Monday, -3 degrees, not a problem.
